What Happens If ATHN Dissolves? Who Gets The Data?

CDC is providing secure servers and the hosting capabilities for the software which allows ATHN to pool the non-identified patient data.  This helps ensure that the data remains protected in the event that ATHN no longer exists.  Additionally, one of the contractual rights of ATHN Affiliates is the right to determine the disposition of the database in the event of dissolution of ATHN, further ensuring  that the data remains protected and that the best interests of the community continue to be served.
